Buffalo Marine; Nachez River, Beaumont, TX. Nachez River, Beaumont, TX. 1. Late on 8/28, eight bbls of #6 fuel oil were spilled during dockside transfer operation in Beaumont TX. The area was boomed. Skimmers, sorbents and a vac-truck were used to recover the floating oil. A small section of marsh adjacent to this commercial pier was impacted. The RP requested and received RRT approval to use PES 51 to aid in removing a 4 inch band of oil from around 2 barges and a tow boat. Proposed clean up operations are to spray PES 51 on rags and sorbent, then wiping down the sides of the vessels. It is estimated that less than 30 gallons of PES 51 will be needed to complete this portion of the clean up. Little or no PES 51 will enter the water. Little or no environmental impact is expected with this planned use of PES 51. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: #6 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 336 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 30.076N 094.082W.

M/V Peljesac Grounded; Near Sabine Jetties, TX. Near Sabine Jetties, TX. 1. The vessel was carrying 52,000 tons of petroleum coke. The SSC initially provided a brief hazard characterization of the cargo to aid the USCG responders in assessing the potential environmental concerns. On 5 September, the MSO Port Arthur requested an oil spill trajectory to further assess potential environmental concerns. This operation was completed by 9 September. NOAA was also asked to provide a side-scan sonar survey given that a team was already in the area. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL, PETROLEUM COKE. TAGS: GROUNDING. 3.
